Thanks to everyone that reviewed faved or read the first chapter of Clean Love. Despite some things that I am sure need to be corrected, I am not perfect and not everyone has to share my views or likings, I am very pleased with the result.

Thanks to CaptProd for beta reading the chapter.

In a room partially lit by the sunlight shining through the window, a pair of emerald eyes, in a face covered in long red hair, started the slow and sometimes painful process of waking up.

It wasn't a particularly long process, because on the contrary with her husband, (sorry fiancé soon to be husband), Kim Possible was a morning person, with the amazing ability to appear refreshed barely minutes after waking up.

She absently noticed that lately she had been having the tendency to call Ron her husband, but she never dwelled on it, after all in a matter of hours her mistake would stop being a mistake and become a happy reality.

She had dreamed about this day since she was a kid, sometimes it was a stranger but most of her childhood Ron played the part of the waiting groom. If she remembered correctly they even once had a play wedding, her newly acquired Pandaroo playing the priest.

Maybe Ron was in her dreams because he was close by, or maybe because she used to have a tiny, ever so tiny that actually it was barely noticeable, crush on her 7-year-old best friend.

But then Middle School came, and Ron stopped being a friend to become something more like a brother to her. Some years later she had concluded she had needed a wake up call. She was glad it happened, but she regretted that it had caused so much pain to the both of them.

But in the end everything turned out alright, she got the boy, who became a wonderful man, a man that adored her with all his heart, maybe as much as she loved him.

And now, after glancing at her bedside clock, she realized she had to start getting ready for one of the most important days on her life. She didn't want to think that it was THE most important day, because she held deep in her memory a short list of her most important days.

So far she had 4, the day she met him, the Junior Prom, the day he proposed and of course this day, their wedding. And she knew that her list would grow larger with the years to come.

Her mother was probably downstairs, and Mrs. Stoppable, a woman she loved as her other mother, was surely to arrive any minute.

They had talked and since she didn't have a nickname for her future mother in law like Ron, they would try to work the mom angle, the same with Ron's dad. They had tried to be on a first name basis but it was just too awkward. For so long she had been Ron's mom and just couldn't start calling her by her first name.

One of the small cons of marrying your childhood best friend I suppose.

Of course a price she and Ron were more than ready and willing to pay.

The day was looking like it was out of a picture, clear skies, birds flying to the horizon, no one could have asked for a better day to hold a wedding.

In all honesty she loved the idea that their wedding would be perfect in every sense, but she also knew that if she had to grab Ron by his ears and drag him to Las Vegas in a stormy night, then she would, and would not regret any moment of it.

Now that she thought about it, when her mothers, family and friends have being bothering, practically crushing, them with ideas and suggestions, more than once Las Vegas had crossed her mind.

But the happiness she felt right now told her that she had made the right decision.

Kim got out of the bed and took a shower before going to the kitchen.

There she found not only her mother, but also Ron's mom and the cutest 7 year old girl in the world.

Hannah had grown up a lot, but she still was the baby of the family, and for that she was spoiled and cooed by everyone. Her hair was longer, and she wore two ponytails, with her purple dress.

Hannah was going to be the flower girl, and her dress was a match with hers, unlike the bridesmaid's ones that was a completely different design.

She had loved Ron's little sister since the moment she had arrived into their lives, and while in college she found herself missing her terribly, she was the sister she wished she had, and this marriage would also formalize that relationship.

"Hey everyone" Kim greeted everyone, happy that this day had finally arrived and wishing already that it was over.

The three women turned their heads towards her, and the two older women smiled when Hannah clung to Kim's neck and Kim returned the hug with as much force as she dared.

Hannah understood what this day was all about, and she was thrilled that she was going to be the flower girl, a big responsibility her mother had said.

Everyone knew that for Kim and Ron little Hannah would do anything.

Fortunally for everyone Hannah had lost her powers right after Ron mastered his.

Sensei had told them that Hannah had been a baby for centuries, unable to grow because of the dormant power of the Ultimate Monkey Master that resided inside her, the power that was apparently waiting for Ron. Once Ron accepted his powers Hannah had been released from her burden, and now was an average girl.

"Hi Kimmie, did you have a good sleep?" Asked her happy mother.

Mrs. Stoppable watched the scene and couldn't decide who was happier, the future bride, the mother of the bride, Hannah or herself. She concluded that it didn't matter, today was a day to be happy.

Kim who had managed to free herself from Hannah answered her mother "In the beginning I couldn't blink, I am so used to…" Kim blushed a little while glancing at her future mother in law "… mmm… having Ron by my side that it was different, but then I was so tired, emotionally tired, that I couldn't keep my eyes open."

"It happens to everyone sweetie, every time I had to travel to Norway, the first night is terrible, not to mention the time differences." Her future mother in law worked for a multinational company and the central office was in Norway, and through the years she has had to travel there. All those times her own mother had helped her, taking care of Ron until his dad came back from work. She had been a lifesaver, and from those times they had become best friends and confidants.

"She is right, those times that James…"

"TMI!!!" Interrupted Kim.

Anne raised an eyebrow, in a very familiar way considering her daughter does it to her fiancé "So when she tells you something it is ok but when I tell you something it is too much info?"

Kim looked at her mother as if she had grown another head "Well, yeah"

"One day you will be a mother and all this will come back to haunt you"

"Mom please let this not be another team up to talk about kids; I barely survived the last one." Is wasn't that she didn't want kids, she wanted them, but there are certain things that she didn't want to discuss with her mom and mother in law, but sometimes she would bring up the topic with her husband, sorry future husband.

She only hoped that she could explain that she wanted to have kids, sometime in the near or distant future, before he started freaking out.

Her Ronnie had matured a lot, but there were times that his childlike attitude got the better of him.

"But when we team up to help you, you don't complain. I remember a very thankful daughter hugging us because we managed to cut the black hole threats by half before college" Pointed out her mother.

"And don't forget when they wanted to live together. Now that was so the drama" And now the eldest women kept counting the times that they had helped her, but above all she remembered the time during her freshman year when they had helped her put Ron in a healthier status. For that alone she owed them big.

…You can't understand Kim, you can never understand what is to be pushed aside, to be taken for granted, that no matter what you do, it will be never enough. Because somewhere out there, there is someone better for you, and I should be thanking God while it lasts, because Kim Possible deserves better than a clumsy sidekick, better than I could ever be. So no Kim you can never understand…

She and Ron were always close, but he was right that she never suffered through High School, for her it was a time to make friends, sans Bonnie, to challenge herself, and she knew that she always had the support of her best friend. It was true that she had taken him for granted; she had discovered that when they traded bodies, but she never dwelled on it, it was already fixed, but it seemed that some scars could last a long time.

It was in her nature, fix one problem then go to the next. One challenge after the other.

It had taken her some time to understand that not everyone went at her speed, just like it had taken some time for Ron to understand that it didn't matter what the ignorant outsiders thought, it only mattered what the ones that really knew him thought. And most of the time it only mattered what she thought of him.

That time Ron had pushed himself to the limit, leaving him completely exhausted, it was only by a miracle called Mystical Monkey Power that he hadn't collapsed.

Sensei once explained to both of them how magic drains first the body energy, like exercise tires the body. But if the person used the MMP to survive, unconsciously, and Ron subconsciously believed that studying that much was as important as his health, then the magic would continue to drain the energy reserves, before it started draining his soul.

If he had reached that point then he would become a soulless shell, his power would consume him and in the end take him over completely. An incarnation of nature, ready to act solely on instinct and on self defense.

That scenario was apocalyptic to say the least.

That's why Kim had spent so many times convincing him that his well being was above everything else, she didn't know how she could live even one day knowing that because of her, he was lost or in danger.

It had taken many long talks but in the end she managed to convince him that she wanted him, and no one else.

That they were going to get married was proof of that.

Through the years they have had many experiences and while they have mostly happy memories there were also tense moments as well. She decided that today she would only think of those happy times. And because she couldn't forget that terrible accident, her mind decided to remind her of the funny part of all that.

The lecture that her poor husband, future husband received that day.

Both mothers and Kim had been in perfect sync, and in the end, not that he had put up too much of a fight, Ron had relented.

So while she prepared herself, making sure that everything was ok, she also replayed that time, which despite the seriousness of the situation ended up like a funny anecdote.

"Ron for the twentieth time I won't lie to your mother or my mother either, and I am not on your side, this time you are on your own" They had been having this conversation for the last 30 minutes. For obvious reasons Ron didn't want to face his mom or Kim's mom, he wasn't expecting a warm welcome. Putting his health at risk was something that was considered stupid, and not only that, he had made Kim sad. And personal experience told him that he was going to regret it.

It didn't stop him from trying "Please KP, I am begging you, I will do anything" He started forming the powerful PDP, but Kim didn't let him.

"If you are even thinking of doing the PDP you are so going to regret it" But a part of her wanted to see if his pout was as irresistible as hers and also the offer to do anything was very tempting. But she had to stay strong. He had to understand the seriousness of the situation.

She knew of course that he understood the situation, and she had made him swear that he would never try anything like that again, but a good lecture and scolding, mixed with a good guilt trip, disappointing and disapproving glances would be the cherry on top of the ice cream.

The trip from his college to her parent's house didn't take long, and when Kim was parking she saw Ron's mother's car and both her mom and his mom were waiting in the main door.

Ron gulped when he noticed those angry postures in the grown women. But he would take this with as much dignity as he could.

Without saying anything to Kim, he unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the door, and with all the elegance, refinement, pride and dignity he had left he went to his knees and started begging for forgiveness.

Anne Possible's motherly instincts almost made her sooth his worries with gentle words and a caress. But her doctor side noticed how thin he was, how skinny, pale and the dark circles in his eyes.

In the end her doctor side won, and she glared for the first time in her life at the man whom she considered her son.

In the other mother's case, she didn't hesitate, with a voice that could freeze hell she ordered her son to enter the house. It was one word that froze Ron's pathetic act "Inside"

Sighing and with one last longing look at Kim, who was trying to contain a smile by frowning, he entered the house. Such a body language had only been seen under the scream of Dead man walking.

His only joy came with the fact that it was only the women, he didn't know if he could survive with the tweebs teasing him, and gaining material for the rest of their lives.

And now we reach the current situation, Ron looking extremely defeated, seated in the most uncomfortable chair in both houses. While three of the four most important women in his life were standing up, with the couch behind them, in front of him, whispering between themselves with the occasional but surely intentional glance in his direction.

The worst part was that Kim knew that he hated these kind of moments, he wondered if she did that on purpose, but no, she wouldn't do that, or would she?...

His musing was interrupted when he noticed that the three women were watching him. Without, increasing his guilt and fear, making any kind of conversation with him his mother and Kim's went to the kitchen, and he could hear noises, food making noises coming from the kitchen. But not a word, not even a sigh.

But suddenly he realized that he was alone with Kim, maybe he could appeal to some pity and with luck stop this maddening silent treatment.

"KP…"

But to his great surprise and confusion she only smirked. Well it was an improvement, her mouth at least was moving.

After a while he became irritated "KP the silent treatment is so pre-k"

Not a word

"Well if you aren't going to talk to me, then I am not going to talk to you" He crossed his arms and glanced in another direction to add more effect to the situation…

…But he was never very good at the not-talking-to-Kim-thing, and 15 seconds after he started his silent treatment he started talking again. Patient was not a word used to describe Ron Stoppable "C'mon Kim I already said I was sorry, I promised that I would behave, at least yell at me, something"

He didn't want to be yelled at, but anything was better than nothing; at least that was what he thought right now.

After some more unanswered begging, both their mothers appeared and the three females led him, without a stinking word, to the kitchen. There waiting for them was the table prepared for 4 people. And the aromas coming from that place made his stomach ache.

The three women sat and watched him, it didn't take long for Ron to understand, and when he sat down he realized that thanks to the distribution of the dishes he was alone on the opposite side of the already mentioned women.

While eating this delicious meal in silence, he shamefully realized that he was really hungry. Despite having the innate capacity to cook beyond the abilities of the top chefs in the world with the things he found in the refrigerator. Or an almost addictive desire to Mexican fast food, he realized that the only thing that had entered his stomach was a few sandwiches and lots of coffee, and he was pretty sure that it wasn't a good idea.

He wondered how he had reached this point, while he had stopped eating unhealthy food on a daily basis since the little mishap with the Titan Project, he had at least a weekly dose of nacos, and he couldn't remember when the last time that he had eaten them.

He was glad that Rufus had decided to take care of Hannah for the first year, or maybe he wasn't lucky at all.

What could be so important to put his health at risk?

He didn't need to look up to know where that important someone was.

But he wasn't blaming her, he blamed his own stupidity and inability to accept that Kim loved him, that his insecurities where only in his mind.

But he also knew that he had been worried sick these last months, because she was so far away. And the only solution was having good grades.

After nearly 30 minutes in silence Anne Possible talked to him "Ron we must admit we aren't too shocked that this happened…" He glanced at her right where Jean nodded to her "… We were actually surprised that it was you"

Now Kim and Ron were confused, so Jean continued "Kim you are a very competitive girl, and while that will take you far you are in danger of biting off more than you can chew. We hoped it wouldn't come to this but we were always prepared for this kind of situation"

Anne nodded taking the conversation back to Ron "This weekend we will take care of you, and we won't let you go back to college unless we are sure that you understand the risks"

Ron sighed "I know and I won't do it again, all I can say is that I didn't notice I was even doing it"

This time Kim joined in the previous group, by smirking at him like the two other women "Oh don't worry Ronnie, after this weekend you will definitely notice it"

Ron could only gulp at that…

… "Kim, are you sure you want me to wear this?"

"Of course I want you too Ronnie, won't you model it for me?" She was trying very hard not to laugh, but the mental pictures were already forming in her head.

Ron's scared voice could be heard from the bathroom "But this is humiliating and small and… and PINK"

Not wanting Ron to notice that it wasn't just Kim outside the door, everyone present did their best to stop from laughing "Well mom said they thought I was going to use it, so it had to be pink"

"But why this? I don't understand" The door prevented the audience to see him, but they were sure that he was tugging on his clothes and being extremely embarrassed.

"Since you can't take care of yourself, then we have too. And since you behave like a baby…"

Now someone's giggle was heard, followed by a very long silence…

"KP?"

"Yeah Ronnie?"

"You aren't alone, are you?"

She giggled "No I am not"

His sigh could be heard miles away "And you still want me to go outside right?"

"Please and thank you"

"Even when I already told you I was sorry?"

"Yes"

Another sigh "Can I have one last request?"

"This isn't an execution Ron"

"Why don't you come in here and put this on and we will see what this is for you"

"Fine, what do you want?"

"Could you put away anything that might leave evidence of this?"

Kim glance at her mother who nodded, and everyone turned off their cellular cameras and kimunicator, even the pair of boys agreed to that "Done, now come out, we are so ready to see you"

It took him a couple of minutes, but when he came out the audience consisting of Kim, Hannah, Rufus, the Tweebs, his parents and Kim's parents started laughing at him.

After all it wasn't everyday that Ron was seen using a pink grand sized baby outfit, complete with a big, covered with flowers, white diaper.

There was nothing a little humiliation couldn't teach. After all mental scars never heal. And the real lecture and baby treatment hadn't even begun.

And now here they were, well here she was, getting ready in a back room in her childhood church, wearing her dress, with both her mothers and friends helping her, supporting her and just being with her.

In all honesty she wasn't sure what she was feeling, there was of course the happiness and some fear, or maybe it was anxiety, resolution and so much more.

She had been staring at herself in the mirror for some time, and Mrs. S and her mom were beginning to worry, they too had a case of cold feet on their wedding days, and their mothers had been a huge support.

Both of them approached her but stopped when Kim started talking, they were alone in the room and her quiet voice filled the room "When I asked Ron to live together I was thinking I should ask him to marry me right there" She snapped her fingers "Just like that, but at the last moment I chickened out, and I played it safe"

Now both mothers were worried, Anne decided to voice both their concerns "Are you having doubts Kimmie, because if you have…" She faltered a bit, knowing that the mother of the groom was in the room and she didn't want her to think that she wanted to stop this from happening.

Fortunally Ron's mom was thinking the same thing "Because if you have, or if you think you are going too fast we will all understand, especially Ron. You shouldn't be doing anything that you aren't ready for"

Km smiled but she didn't turn in their direction, she kept gazing at her own reflection "No I want to get married, but I just had like a fast flashback of my, sorry our entire life" Both mothers smiled at that, in their case most of their life was one story "And it just popped into my mind, and don't worry we are doing this at our own pace, we always have"

Anne smiled "Of course more than 12 years of friendship to start dating, 4 years of dating to live together, 1 year to become engaged, and finally one more year to prepare the wedding, after almost 20 years of knowing each other I would definitely say that you took your time"

"Mom I know that you were always rooting for Ron, have you ever considered that we were just…waiting for the right moment?" It sounded funny even to her; a long time ago Ron and herself had decided that the transition took so much time because of the same closeness that made their relationship so special and real.

This time Ron's mother smiled "You keep telling yourself that Kimmie, but someday you will find out that mothers do know best. Karma has a way of kicking you when you least expect it"

Kim lost the dazed expression on her face and turned to them "I guess you are right, one day I am telling mom that Ron isn't a boy, and the next day I am telling her how Ron had become everything I ever wanted. Karma can be a sneaky"

Anne smiled at her daughter "So there is no crisis, are you ready for this?"

"Check my name mom, its just today is one of those days that you notice that everything is changing, and I tend to think of everything that led to this moment"

"One day you are happily preparing the wedding, and the next day you realize that you are actually getting married and part of you starts freaking out because everything is changing"

Her mom sure knew what to say in almost every moment, sometimes she wondered if it was some kind of universal knowledge that came with parenthood, or if her mother knew by experience what she was talking about.

"But you have to wonder is something changing? You already love each other; you already live together, without dissing the ceremony or the marriage of course, what has really changed? The essence of your relationship or just the title?"

And her mother in law wasn't too far behind; she too seemed to have the same knowledge of her relationship with Ron.

Her best friend and Maid of Honor Monique followed by her two bridesmaids Tara and her cousin Joss opened the door of the room. Not only that but her Nana was holding Hannah's hand.

Hannah was gorgeous, the picture of innocence, and despite that her almost husband always complains when she tells him, in no time he would have to start threatening boys.

She already knew that Ron's dad was already talking to her own father as research.

Right after Nana closed the door, a soft knock was heard, and the head of Hannah's dad appeared "Sorry to bother this beauty contest…" And to that there were a few blushes, some smiles and two eye rolling. One coming from Hannah's mom and the other from Kim they both were used to this kind of corny compliments that the Stoppable men used, and they wouldn't choose any other kind "…but I was sent to find out if everyone was ready"

"Give us a few minutes honey and tell James to come this way"

When he left everyone turned to the bride, it was Monique who broke the silence "So Kim you are just friends right?"

When Kim and Monique met, and later when Monique learned the closeness between Kim and Ron she had asked like everyone who met Kim and Ron, if they were dating. The first time it had happened Kim denied it with vehemence, but Monique had noticed the light blush on her new friend.

After they started dating that initial question become a joke, a reminder that Kim and Ron were the last ones to realize what everyone, and I mean e v e r y o n e already knew.

Kim smiled, after years of joking, she had took it for what it was, a real concern from her friends and family while at the same time having a little fun about her "What can I say, they say best friends make the best couples"

Small laughter was interrupted by another knock at the door and a voice from outside "Kimmie cub, whenever you are ready"

The first one to move was her Nana "Kimmie, you once told me that it was hard to be far away from the people you love. I know you weren't talking just about me, but look at yourself, about to get married, you just have to believe. I will be supporting you in every step and every word you both make today as long as I can"

Next was Tara "I once dreamed about this day, only I was in your place" She looked down, almost ashamed, but everyone knew that Tara wasn't a bad person, her hair wasn't the only thing that was golden, she had a heart to match, "But not even once I doubted, not even for a second, that your story would reach this point"

She hugged Kim without an ounce of regret "Hang onto him, you both deserve this"

It was well known how Joss not only approved but also supported her relationship with Ron, so this time there was no words just smiles.

With Monique it was much simpler, besides everything was already said "You look beautiful in that dress"

Kim laughed "You are only saying that because you picked it out in the store, but thanks for being here"

Monique smiled "You owe me, although this dress isn't half bad, I will take this into consideration when it is my turn"

Hannah just hugged her neck and whispered; in the happiest voice Kim had ever heard from her, one simple word that almost brought Kim to tears "Sister"

By this point everyone had left the room to go to their positions.

The mothers that were left in the room approached her. Mrs. Stoppable telling Hannah to wait outside, before grabbing both of Kim's hands "Kimmie, I… I really don't know what to say, he is my son, so please take care of him…" Kim nodded, but when her mother in law continued she couldn't help but hug her "… But I love you too; you know where to find me. Always"

And with a last kiss on the cheek Jean Stoppable stepped away from the woman that had taken away from her one of the most important things in her world.

Correction she stepped away from the person that she trusted the most with Ron.

It had taken everything in Kim's power not to cry while watching this woman, this incredible woman trusting her with one of her two treasures. She didn't know how she would manage to not ruin her make up now that it was her mother's turn.

Her mother sensing her mood approached with a smile "I won't make you cry Kimmie; you already know that I love you and that I love Ron. I know that everything will be fine"

"Thanks mom, it's just that you were right, everything's changing, despite the fact that Ron's mom is also right, nothing is really changing for us, this is a little overwhelming. I told you what I wanted to do the day I asked him to live together before our Senior year in college…"

Ok Possible, just go in there and ask the question, just like any other mission…

…Ok so maybe not like every other mission, the world didn't need to be saved, and she didn't have Ron at her side. So not the drama, after all Ron was her mission kinda, and all that was at risk was her dignity in the case of rejection, and maybe her entire relationship and friendship with the person that mattered the most to her…

Maybe it was so the drama, but maybe not…ugh I really have to stop thinking so much or I will lose the courage to ask.

Finally deciding to stop thinking about it she focused on the road instead, the same road that she had used countless times, the road that went straight from her house to his.

And if she was lucky soon it would become his and hers parent's houses instead.

She found it kinda ironic that she could face mad scientists and mutant animals, but whenever it came to Ron, she didn't know how to act.

Ron had been the one, by facing those three Pre-K bullies, which had started the most wonderful relationship one person, could ever hope to have.

And she would never forget those four words, those four wonderful and courageous words that had changed their lives. "Out There, In Here"

She knew that Ron was scared of asking things from her father, who had kept threatening a one way trip to a black hole for her boyfriend, all during their Senior year in high school and especially their college days. Her dad still had problems accepting that his daughter wasn't a little girl anymore.

She had wanted to confront him, but her mother had convinced her not too, she said it was just a phase that every parent had to deal with. But even she had to admit that her husband was reaching extremes.

Her step faltered for a minute, thinking of the repercussions that this could have on her father's psyche, but decided that it was time for some shock therapy, if this didn't convince her father about her adulthood then nothing would.

And besides this was her life, her father, no matter how much she loved him, didn't have the final say on her relationship with Ron.

And now here she was standing in front of Ron's house, already knowing that only he was there.

Deciding that she wasn't Kim Possible for nothing she moved to knock on the door, when it suddenly opened, revealing a head down Ron Stoppable.

The crash was unavoidable. And painful.

This definitely wasn't how Kim had pictured this; as she was nursing a sore spot from the collision with her boyfriend.

"Um hey KP… fancy meeting you here… hehehe" he said helping her as they both got up. He was going to her house, to see if she wanted to go see a movie or something. But suddenly an overwhelming feeling, an instinct that he got every time when a mission was coming up flared inside of him "Let me guess…" He started with a resigned sigh "… a mission is going to ruin our afternoon" And it was such a good afternoon, but after all these years he was used to this. He had lost count of how many times he had too drop everything at a moment's notice in High School, or in his first three years of college.

He wondered if their Senior Year was going to be a remake of those first years.

But he also knew that to stop going on the occasional mission that appeared, wasn't even a choice.

It was an important part on Kim's life, so as long as she didn't stop going on missions he wouldn't suggest stopping them either.

But he still felt grateful that after the Lowardian incident the villain activity had drastically decreased. Monkey Fist had been turned into stone and DNAmy had disappeared with her stone lover.

And most importantly Drakken and Shego, the ones that were always the most active were now on the good side of the law.

And even then the missions were easy and short, thanks to a good combination between her Sloth, Rufus, Wades' Intel, Kim's martial arts and Ron's unlimited Monkey's Powers.

"No mission Ron, why do you say that? A girl can't visit her boyfriend without having a secret agenda" Now that was an unfair critique, she always had visited them to spend time together, before and after Junior Prom.

"I didn't say that…" After so many years of being with her, he understood to not make her angry "… it's just that you have your mission face on"

That's what happens when you mix your personal life with your mission life. The mission face, part of the mission mode, was widely known by Ron, Monique and her High School cheerleaders. When Kim had a purpose, a mission, she wouldn't stop until it was completed.

It was also a safety mechanism of self defense, because although she always succeeded in the missions thus far, there was always the chance of not coming back. And that's why when entering mission mode she ensured her mental stability despite her fears or insecurities.

So since she was feeling somewhat insecure, her mind acted like it was programmed to do.

Kim sighed "Don't worry Ron; I just wanted to talk to you there isn't any …"

Like a jinx the Kimmunicator started beeping, stopping Kim and making both young adults look at her wrist.

"… Mission, I swear to god Ron, don't say a word, not one" She had seen the little smirk forming on his face, and didn't want to hear his smug smart answer. It was like a flashback to their Senior year, whenever they wanted some alone time they were always interrupted, sometimes they wondered if it was an ingenious plot between Kim's dad, Wade and every villain out there, including the participation of Ron's little sister.

The Kimmunicator beeped again, and when Kim pressed the answer button the face of a taller Wade appeared in the screen, Wade noticing the scowl on Kim's face correctly assumed that he was interrupting "Hey Kim, I am not interrupting anything right?"

He tried to look as innocent as possible, but Kim noticed the slight smirk and the amusement in his voice "Don't worry Wade, we were just talking that we should train you in some martial arts, classes I will be teaching you"

Wade gulped "Yeah… we will talk about that next week or maybe in my next life…" Wade could hear the stifled laugh coming from Ron in the background "… But now we have some problems with Motor Ed, mullet boy is after some ultra secret rocket engine. But good news is that it is in Middleton so you won't have to do a long trip"

"Space Center?" She desperately wanted to punish that idiot, but she preferred a nice afternoon with her boyfriend "I don't know Wade, he is just Motor Ed, can't we just call the police?"

"Well I already did, but apparently Motor Ed got tired of being beaten, so he built some strong armor, for himself and his minions"

"Great anything else?" The sarcasm wasn't painfully obvious.

"Well…"

"It was a rhetorical question Wade" But she did manage to stop the groan, Wade didn't deserve it.

"Yeah but their armor also transforms into a monster truck and motorcycles"

"Too many movies, but well duty calls, right?" She was starting to feel tired, she started wanting to settle down, at least for a while, she always called herself an average girl, now she really wanted an average life, or at least a break form the craziness.

"Yeah, sorry Kim, the police will be waiting for you. Bye" With that the screen went black.

"You know Kim, when I was Zorpox, I had some very good original ideas, and even Drakken had some original ideas. But despite that the robots must be super cool; it is kinda lame to steal something from a movie, or two."

"Well we are talking about Motor Ed, so it doesn't really surprise me, C'mon Ron let's go to the Sloth."

"But what about the thing you wanted to talk about?" He knew that Kim had already entered her Mission mode, but she seemed upset, he decided to work extra hard to make her smile, anything she wanted, she would get.

Kim sighed, how long would missions have to come before her, their, private life? "Later Ron, right now I want to find mullet head and vent some anger"

During the trip Ron kept quiet, noticing that Kim went from upset and tired to just plain angry, he so didn't want that anger directed at him.

Like Wade said the police was waiting for them with a truck to transport the future prisoners. Ron was wondering if they were going to need an ambulance once Kim finished with Ed as well.

But the most amazing thing was the huge robot/armor that Motor Ed was wearing, along with the three human sized armors. It made Kim wonder why they hadn't entered the Space Center, with that much firepower there was no way that the police could have stopped them, so the true question was what were they waiting for?

Motor Ed was watching how his goons were walking around, noticed her, and waved his huge robot hand "Hey Red, I knew that you were going to come, what do you think about my new ride? It rocks, seriously"

Quickly deciding a plan Kim whispered to Ron "I will take care of Motor Ed; you stop the others, but don't overdo it"

Ron's powers were probably the best kept secret in the history of mankind. She, his parents, Drakken and Shego, and her mother along with Wade were the only ones outside Yamanouchi and Dr Director who knew about them and their full extent.

Her father one of the most skeptical people in the world was kept out of it, the last thing he needed was to find out that Ron Stoppable was not only the man that her daughter had chosen to spend her life with, but also the man that would break everything he ever known or believed about Magic and Science. He already had a big enough grudge towards him.

With a smirk and his eyes changing from brown to blue, he started running in the direction of the 4 small robots. Kim knew that if Ron were to fight the big one he would need his powers, but she could avoid being slammed while Wade figured something

"Wade I need something to stop Motor Ed, do you think an EMP might work?"

"Yeah it will, but I will need some time, do you think you can entertain him?"

"Sure no problem, but I thought the Sloth had one, we used it on several missions."

"Yeah but it would destroy not only the robots, but also every computer in the Space Center, so you need to use the one in the Kimmunicator, but it needs time to charge and you will have to be close to the main core"

Kim had started running towards the robots finally noticing how full of weapons it was, while she heard one of Motor Ed's men complaining about the little dude that had ruined his new cool ride.

"Define close Wade"

"You know how every time I find you about to make out with Ron?"

"Yeah" She didn't like how this was going to end.

"Well imagine that with two or three inches more distance. I will beep you when it's charged. Good luck"

She shouted "Motor Ed why don't you surrender and we can all go home" She knew it wouldn't work, but it would gain some time knowing how distracting hard words could be.

"Well Red, I wouldn't mind going home with you, why don't you wait there while I tune up my ride"

This was not the first time that he had implied something with her, apparently the moment she turned 18, she became the most desirable woman in the villain community, but no matter how many times she heard him, she couldn't stop the growl from escaping her mouth "I told you a million times, not in a million years, besides I have a boyfriend, but you always seem to forget that fact"

Motor Ed looked shocked for a minute, before glancing to where Ron was dealing with the second robot, while evading the other remaining two "Seriously? You are still with the little dude? I thought you would have traded up or something like that by now, seriously"

Oh he did not go there?… Now Kim was really angry, he even thought that he could do better than Ron. In that moment she decided that the best way to distract him was to grab him and gave him a beating that would be remembered for ages to come.

Instead of trying an indirect approach, she started running straight at Motor Ed, she caught him by surprise, when after jumping she landed on his chest with her two feet. The sound that he made when he lost his breath was one of the more satisfying noises she had ever heard "With Ron there is no trading up idiot. And if I ever hear you say something like that again…"

She couldn't finish because the Kimmunicator started beeping, causing her to smirk. With some extra pressure to his stomach, Kim activated the EMP and to the bewilderment of Motor Ed, his whole machine stopped working. And before he could recover his breath the teen had leaped off his robot to land safely on the ground beside him.

"How?"

As an answer he only got a half shrug and a smirk, but from the Space Center he noticed something that made him smirk, leaving Kim confused.

Someone pushed her from behind, and she watched as one of Motor Ed's goons, give him something, which he connected to the main console of his robot. She suddenly realized why they weren't barging into the Space Center, they were the distraction.

But it didn't matter after all she had fried the electronic systems of it.

At least that was what she thought until the robot turned on and transformed into a big monster truck and started driving away.

"KP change of plans, you take them I take Motor Ed" That's what she heard when Ron passed her on a motorcycle, probably on one of the small robots.

It didn't take her too long to finish the rest of Motor Ed's boys, and now she needed to know how that robot had started running again, after all her boyfriend was going to face it, even if she knew that he would be safe. She never stopped worrying about him.

"Dad what exactly is that thing? It shouldn't be working"

"Uh Kimmie-Cub, are you sure to about letting Ronald handle it, it is a very important and delicate piece of technology" He was really worried, after all the gadget was the result of years of study and engineering. And while he never said it out loud, he never could trust Ronald fully, but he always kept silent, since the one he thought would be able to take care of his Kimmie-Cub ended up being a synthodrone.

"I am sure dad, Ron's got this" And like she said, a few minutes later Ron appeared riding a motorcycle holding the stolen thing with an unconscious Motor Ed tied behind him.

No one ever asked why when they found the big robot it had a big hole in the middle, along with being almost destroyed.

Dr. Director had done her work again.

"But dad what was that?"

Even if it had caused a lot of trouble to his daughter, he started talking with the pride of a scientist "Well now that you ask it is a mix between the state of the art engines and the Hephaestus project"

"Wait wasn't that project one of the Diablos?" Ron couldn't understand how he continued the project despite being proved to be very dangerous, and people called him stupid.

"Yes Ronald, this engine uses Drew's synthomass to power up and upgrade the energy efficiency while the Hephaestus project fixes and improves the general circuits of whatever machine it is plunged into"

"Wait you are using synthomass?" Now Kim couldn't understand why, while she could understand the need to make technological breaks, the synthomass had caused her a lot of pain.

"You have to understand Kimmie-Cub, if a rocket gets broken in the middle of nowhere, this could repair it, not only saving them, but opening an infinite amount of opportunities"

"Ok dad, but this time put the lock on it. Ron and I are going to spend the afternoon together"

"I'm guessing Kimmie-Cub that you will be in a public place, right?"

How could he, he let her be responsible to deliver millions of dollars worth of equipment, but her father couldn't trust her with boys, or her father just didn't trust Ron.

She didn't know which was worse.

And he didn't have any right, it was past time that her father understood that this was her life, their life, Ron's and hers "Don't worry dad, we are going to watch a movie at home, where mom is going to be"

With that Kim got into the Sloth, Ron by her side. But when they stopped by Ron's house and Kim went to the tree house, the only thing a very confused Ron could do was follow her.

"Look Ron I want to ask you something, but I am not really sure how you will react…"

"What me? C'mon KP you can ask me anything…"

"Ron…"

"I mean we once traded bodies, there is nothing you can't ask…"

"Ron" This time a little more exasperated, how was it that every time she was nervous about asking something, Ron started rambling and it made her crazy until…

… Until she blurted out like an idiot the thing she was nervous to ask "Do you want to live with me?"

And after that he always looked like a fish out of water gasping for oxygen.

"Wait, What? What… What did you say? You are not saying what… what I think you are saying? Right?" Ron himself didn't know if he was feeling happiness, shock, or a mix between those two.

Almost resigned she approached him until she could grab his hands. But keeping some distance, unconsciously or not he had rejected her, but she was sure he needed time to recover from the shock "Yes Ron I just asked if you wanted to live together during our last year of college, I just asked you if you want our relationship to be taken to the next level"

I am just asking if you see a future with me, if you think I have a minimal chance to make you happy, because I want to repay you for always making me happy, even when I didn't know it or want it.

I am asking you to live with me because I hope that one day you will ask me to marry you, or at least to know if you would say yes if I ask you.

All those thoughts danced in her head while she waited for her boyfriend to answer her.

But Ron only had one thought that Kim Possible wanted to live with him, to share something so special with him.

BOOYAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But the rational part of his brain, the part that was usually silent, spoke.

Every time, every single time, that her father caught them kissing, kissing not making out, he got that psychopathic homicidal look, what would he say when he realized that his daughter, his precious Kimmie-Cub, would be sharing an apartment, an unsupervised apartment, with her boyfriend.

Mr. Dr. P would be the first person ever imprisoned for killing someone by glaring.

But hadn't he pledged his life to Kim's happiness? Wasn't it time already that he started taking charge of his life, instead of letting his fears and insecurities control his life? The few times that he took control of his life he got everything he wanted, the love of his life and complete control over his powers.

"Are you sure Kim? Are you ready for this?"

"Of course I am sure, I wouldn't be asking otherwise"

"I mean what about your dad…" He didn't finish the sentence, he knew by watching her face that she understood.

If they continued with this, if they do this, things could turn really ugly, really fast.

Kim understood Ron's worries, but like any other stitch, if he was with her, then they were unstoppable "Are you saying yes?"

Ron didn't answer for a while, only piercing her soul through her own eyes. She felt completely exposed to him, but she trusted him, the fact that she was asking to start sharing their lives completely was proof of that.

"Yeah…I want to give it a try, although I think it is time that I tell you that I was going to rent an apartment near college. It has one bedroom so we will have to look for another one"

Kim didn't know how her boyfriend could be so dense, or such a good boyfriend, but part of sharing the apartment was sharing the bedroom at least in the beginning. It had happened more than once that they had fell asleep and woke up together, the joy both of them got every time was something that Kim looked forward too. "We will see"

And she paid extra attention to his reaction, how he suddenly was paying extra attention to her. A little smugness was forming in her; she sure knew how to have his full attention.

Ron was nervous, really nervous "Let's keep…let's keep that for ourselves, I really don't want…"

"Don't worry Ron; we can work out the details later. Right now you can show me this apartment, and maybe later we can break the news to the family"

She barely heard his whisper "Or in our next life"

"Don't worry Ron, I will protect you from the big mean daddy" She giggled, and she was so relieved that she was actually joking "I have to keep you around, I won't let him take you away" And then she couldn't control her giggles.

Ron, who was still semi shocked and a little uncomfortable didn't know how to react, if he was supposed to be romantic or act aloof, decided that her giggles had to stop. So he did what he did best, he kissed her with all the feeling he could manage in his semi shocked and uncomfortable state.

And when he stopped Kim had that dreamy and pleased, almost relieved smile on her face every time Ron did the right thing, appeared on her face "I definitely have to keep you around, now let's go. Since it is your apartment…"

"Loft"

"…Loft?" She was surprised and happy, and she suddenly remembered his Naco royalties "…Since it is your Loft, I will even let you drive"

Ron knew that she must be extremely happy and accepted very eagerly this rare opportunity.

He remembered how there were times when he had doubts about their relationship, and just today they were taking another step.

Maybe it was time he started seriously thinking about how to prepare for a future together.

It was time to start to transform the dream into reality.

And now Kim was standing next to the man that on the day she and Ron announced that they were living together had created a situation that broke her heart.

Her dad had openly said not only that he was against their desire but also against any kind of relationship that she had with Ron.

It was the same night that James Timothy Possible heard from her daughters mouth, that between Ron and him, she choose Ron.

Not only had that dramatic night created a rift between her dad and herself, but also between him and Ron and both families.

Of course her dad had eventually seen reason, but the damage was already done.

But now he was right here, at her side, truly happy for her. It meant the world to her.

"Don't worry Kimmie-Cub, this is really happening"

"I know dad, I am ready"

"Then let's go"

…I am ready…

The doors opened and Hannah and her bridesmaids started walking. The music was her cue, but once she locked eyes with her husband, everything else stopped mattering.

One step closer, then another…

…Breathe in, breathe out.

You know the usual, a lot of stuff happened in the last months, that broke every desire to write, and when I recovered it I didn't have time. Don't know what to say except sorry, for every one that still is waiting for the next chapters of both stories. And thanks if you are still reading.

Leave a review, especially since I don't know what to make of this chapter, the next ones are easily written, but for the first's ones I had a lot of problems.

And wow this is probably the largest thing I've ever written or at least one of the two longest.

Thanks, Gibsonmar
